Daniel Gilbert's prize for Stumbling on Happiness

There are very few countries (including my own - the US) where a somewhat cheeky book about happiness could win a science prize - but the British invented intellectual humour and have always understood that enlightenment and entertainment are natural friends. So God bless the empire!  -  Daniel Gilbert (quoted by the BBC)  on receiving this year's Royal Society Prize for Science Books for Stumbling on Happiness.
